S.107 CL - Final (14/11/2013 14:00)

Ladies and Gentlemen (or just Gentlemen? seriously are there any ladies out there?), We have a Winner!

Unique FC have won their third CL cup after a stylish 4-1 win over Italian FratiFrancescani. It's the 10th season that an Englsih team wins the CL, and the second season in a row. They've won the CL winning all of their matches, amazing achievment!

 

Leonidas: I felt like I had control of the game, I think I got my tactics right. The match ratings are similar but I had more shots on goal and my players took their chances. The game couldn't have gone much better for me. I know how FF will be feeling as I was in his position last season but he should be proud of getting to the final, not many teams can say they made it to the final of the CL.
I was planning on this being my last season competing for a while but after my CL win i'm thinking of changing my mind and having one more season to try and defend my title.

Sastianello: He destroyed me! From before the match I knew that Leonidas has a great team with many players who could hurt me at any time. I decided to not play only defence although his team is much stronger than mine. However, i'm very satisfied for all my way in this competition because I eliminated many teams that are stronger than mine and because i'm the first Italian manager who arrived to the final of the CL. When I will have a team with a Q higher than now I will win! Congratulaions to Leonidas!

 

Match Report: Unique started strong, challenging Gustavo Alvez right from the first minute as he had to save Michelle Keegan's header. He didn't save, however, the next chance; At the 4 minute Luciano Pinto dribbled off FF defence and left the ball to Jean VanBuel who had no problem giving Unique the lead. FF replied with a lot of pressure, forcing Unique's players to get some yellows but didn't find the target and they were punished for that as at the 17 minute VanBuel doubled the lead with a fantastic header. The Italians failed to get back into this game and almost went further behind but Alvez saved Rosie Huntington-Whiteley header.
FF continued with the pressure at the beginning of the second half but were punished again for not scoring. 5 minutes after the break Huntington-Whiteley scored after a magnificent pass by Gemma Arterton. It all seems lost but 2 minutes later a horrible mistake by Pinto almost cost a goal. He fouled just outside the box and Azim al-Asadi got to shoot from 19 metres. Luckily for Unique, Frode Sharma was in place to push it to a corner. But it looks like every FF chance to score makes Unique score as right after this attack Mila Kunis headed in Mr Krokkert's corner.
At the 64 minute, FF had their best chance in the game. Alessandro Cosmi dribbled off Unique's defenders, passed to L
ê Anh Cung but Sharma was in place to push it to corner once more. With the game in their hands Unique took it easier and FF were the better for the last 15 minutes. Unique got a penalty at the 76 minute, but Alvez amazingly saved Mila Kunis shot. 2 minutes later, FF finally got the goal they were looking for as Michelle Keegan scored an own goal. Chung could make it 2 to FF just before the final whistle as he broke Unique off-side trap but he shot wide.
